Lenovo announces stick that turns any screen into a PC

Lenovo announced the ideacentre Stick 300, which is described as an affordable personal computer that fits in the palm of your hand.

The stick can turn almost any display into a PC. It plugs into a screen via the HDMI connection and needs a micro USB connection for power.

It comes with Windows 8.1 on its 32GB flash storage, is outfitted with an Intel Atom Processor Z3735F and 2GB of RAM, and has a full-size USB port to connect external storage or other peripherals to it.

ideacentre Stick 300 owners will have the option of upgrading to Windows 10 when it is released in July.

The Lenovo ideacentre Stick 300 will be available this fall in the US for $129. Lenovo is yet to announce when it will be released internationally or how much it will cost.
